Military stuff, other institutional stuff
I have a LOT of compassion for vets. WAY more than most lefties. WAY more. I have not worked in the military, but I had military folks on both sides in my parents' generation and grandparents. I have a cousin. I worked in institutional settings with DD folks which is its own thing, but which has some not-dissimilar ethical dilemmas.
I cannot say current military service is ethical.

Courage and compassion are two sides of the same coin. Compassion without courage is not genuine. You may have a compassionate thought or impulse, but if you don’t do or say anything, it’s not real compassion.

Using the modern web doesn't feel empowering. It feels immensely frustrating.
The web is barely usable without ad-blocking. Pages take an age to load and the content jumps around as more ads download and display. Also the ads are spying on you.
The entire JS ecosystem is dependency hell and sometimes you have to download massive JS files just to view a web page. The JS is probably also spying on you.
Worse still, JS is also probably why the Back button doesn't work properly on so many sites.
